French people generally refer to someone as an ami(e) or amie when speaking of relationships; however, certain phrases can be used ambiguously to refer either friendship or romance – for instance when someone says Elle habite chez son ami(e), this could indicate either way!
Knowing all the different French pet names for friends and lovers is key to maintaining meaningful relationships; embarrassing oneself accidentally could ruin it all! Furthermore, learning French romantic words and phrases provides important context when selecting appropriate expressions to use with each one.
Music can also help reinforce your French vocabulary through listening. Listening to foreign-language songs allows you to practice pronunciation while memorizing lyrics so you can sing along!

France tends to be less demonstrative than Spanish-speaking countries when it comes to expressing love, likely due to traditional, heteronormative values prevalent throughout much of France. That doesn’t mean, however, that people don’t show affection towards loved ones and friends!
People typically demonstrate their affection through various expressions. These could include terms of endearment or expressions of love like “l’amour and la rose.” Additionally, many express their emotions physically by giving gifts or sending cards.
